Born in Gunnison Utah, Kent Butler developed a natural interest in nature, as well as the American West. During his formative years Kent can't remember a time when he wasn't drawing anything and everything that caught his eye.

Kent began his formal art training at the University in Utah. He then moved to Los Angeles where he attended the Los Angeles Art Centre College of design.

Kent is known for his unique and expressive use of color, as well as his black and white drawings. His wide range of subjects and his variety in style is well known in contemporary circles. Kent's paintings have won numerous awards and are represented in private collections in Europe, Africa and the United States.

Kent now lives in Ojai California, a setting of great natural beauty, which Kent feels is the perfect place to focus and pursue an already highly successful career in the art world.
